The dress and open zipper less jacket is right up my alley. I like the proportions here a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625353 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:20:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1625353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the jean info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625200 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 15:19:12 +0000 cobaltblue 1625200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are great, especially #2! I second the idea of tucking or semitucking #3 with a fun belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625197 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 15:09:44 +0000 Janet 1625197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved those jeans when Diana posted them, and I love them on you too! What a great buy. And I really like them with the blue. I'm not much of a pattern mixer -- I tend to wear one patterned item in an outfit with simple pieces so it stands out -- but if it speaks to you, I'd give it a try. </p> <p>#3 is tomboy perfection, and I especially love #2. Great variety of looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625109 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 04:51:15 +0000 Keix 1625109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Firecracker</b>! The jeans in #3 are Lucky Brand Dylan BF's, 2 sizes down from my usual. I loved them so much that I duplicated in a lighter wash and only 1 size down, which is slouchier and more casual. I wear both pairs a ton but 2 sizes down is still the most flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625106 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 04:31:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1625106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these outfits a lot! I have a hard time envisioning the print top with the crazy pants (mainly because I can't quite make out the pattern that distinctly on the pants), but I do like pattern-mixing, so I say give it a try! You wear those moto boots so well, and I like how they finish the jeans and plaid shirt outfit. What jeans are those? They look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1625007 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 00:40:23 +0000 Keix 1625007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@Jenn</b>: I definitely plan on wearing #2 without the topper when I'm outside. I don't mind baring my arms so it still works. I need to replace the dress--it's starting to pill after many washes--but haven't found anything comparable.</p> <p><b>@Diana</b>: YES, I want to see Liberty x Liberty! I fell in love with a J.Crew Liberty shirt once (the Floral Eve print) and it's another long-lasting regret. I need to set up an eBay alert for it, since apparently things do fall into my lap after years of searching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624991 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 23:57:19 +0000 Diana 1624991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; Crazypants twins!&nbsp; =D&nbsp; I love them with the cobalt here, and I want to see them with the pink patterned sweater too!&nbsp; Hmm.. you have me thinking that I've never actually tried pairing my Liberty shirt with these pants... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624990 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 23:49:56 +0000 Aida 1624990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and #2 especially! The pants look great, how fun that you were able to finally snap a pair up. Really nice with the cobalt sweater. #2 is a great moody yet girly look; I also love that it pushes your work norm a bit AND has sweet sentimental jewelry. I see what you're saying about #3; if you wanted to do sneakers with that look, I think you could swap the BF jeans out for a cropped skinny pair to add a little femme back to the look. If you ever tuck your shirts, I think that look as it is would be cute tucked and a metallic or other fun belt added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624932 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 21:57:54 +0000 Anonymous 1624932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three outfits, but #2 grabbed my attention more than the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624931 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 21:56:56 +0000 Angie 1624931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes can make ALL the difference to how you feel in an outfit. I'm glad you've honed <b>YOUR </b>way to wear plaid button downs because you look fabulous. Like all three outfits. #2 is my fave. Killer on you.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624924 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 21:50:40 +0000 Anonymous 1624924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like outfit #1 because the top looks so nice you. I definitely think you should try the maximal look with the patterned tippi sweater. It would give a more funky look. I think the simple lines would keep it from being OTT. </p> <p>Interesting observation about button downs and sneakers being less styled. I could see how that might be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624909 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 20:23:25 +0000 Sara L. 1624909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skinnies and the blue top.&nbsp; The colors are so pretty.&nbsp; #2 seems like a great uniform for the summer.&nbsp; I feel the same way about button downs and jeans - I need something such as shoes or jewelry to make the outfit feel intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624903 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:58:52 +0000 LaPed 1624903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three of these are really nice. Love those printed skinnies; I'd be curious to see them in a pattern-mixing scenario. Bring it on!</p> <p>Love jewelry with spiritual/emotional significance -- that little necklace is very sweet. And the jacket has just the right amount of volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624901 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:52:41 +0000 Jenn 1624901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all good, and I think the pattern-on-pattern would work too. #2 is FAB. Looks like a perfect summer formula to me. Will it still work without the jacket for outdoors/hotter days? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624898 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:51:53 +0000 rachylou 1624898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skinnies are super. Good buy! The motos are also great. Nice outfits. I like the visual heft of the topper on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dianas-crazypants-and-a-realization#post-1624896 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:45:43 +0000 Keix 1624896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharing a few WIW's from this week!</p> <p>1) I saw these Paige teal floral skinnies on YLF several years ago, when Diana first posted about them, and always regretted not ordering them. So when I saw my size on eBay for $26, I pounced as fast as I could. They arrived last weekend and I adore the print, although the fit is a bit snug on my calves and front waist (fabric is very "sturdy"-feeling, like my Mother skinnies). I am tempted to wear these jeans with a pink patterned sweater (attached in Finds); is that too crazy? I'm definitely on Team Maximal, maybe too much so.</p> <p>2) An example of the outfit formula that I plan to live in this summer, minus the leggings: A-line dress + topper + necklace. This narwhal necklace was handmade by a Canadian artist--narwhals are my spirit animal, and I'm a surprise!Canadian living in the USA, so it's perfect for me. I also own a similar delicate silver necklace in the shape of Newfoundland, which is a great conversation-starter.</p> <p>3) I'm wearing this outfit today and really like it, even though I previously talked about my discomfort in buttondowns with jeans. The key difference here: shoes! I love my new black moto boots, which feel perfectly me and add an intentionality to the outfit. If I swapped out the boots for sneakers, I instantly feel more masculine and less "styled." </p>
